Many Victorian and Edwardian geometric floors have suffered damage over the years. These are valuable and practical features of period properties and we offer a service to replace lost or damaged tiles.

General Information

These floors (sometimes referred to as tessellated floors) were featured in entrance halls and on front paths of houses (and many commercial premises) from mid -Victorian times up to the 1930's.

Designs are made up of triangles, squares, trapeziums, hexagons and octagons in a variety of colours.

Often included in the designs are encaustic tiles, which are usually (but not always) square tiles, with a pattern embossed on them in layers of different coloured clay. Most often these are in two colours, but can be found in three, four or even five colours.

Some examples of Olde English Encaustic Tiles.

Although these floors are long lasting, some are now showing signs of wear and tear. Restoration is normally possible. We can supply replacement plain tiles in 25 colour shades, together with reproduction encaustic tiles and cleaning and sealing products.
